Speeifieation forming'pat of Letters Patent No. 170,516, dated November 30, 1875; application filed J uly 31, 1875. V

T0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS E. O. BRINLY',

'of Lonisville, in the County of .Tefl'erson and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Plows, of which the following` is a specifieation:

In tlle annexed drawings, Which form part of this specification, Figure l is a perspeetive view of a plow, showing one side. Fig. 2 is an elevation, showing the' Other side. Fig. 3 is all elevation, showing the adaptation of my improvementto shoVel-plows.

On the back of the helve is a projection, C, cast With recesses on each side, to receive the ends of the handlesD, Which 'are seeured by bolts and nuts.

Tlle beam and handles lnay thus be readily detaehed for convenience in paeking for shipment, and may be used upon different forms ot' helves adapted to various kinds of Work.

What I elaln as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A plow combining in its construction the curved cast-iron helve A, having flanges on 'the edges forming recesses on each side, to re-
